 * GA review (see here for criteria)

* The definition of the book as a religious text needs a reference. I could not find any RS defining it so. It is defined as a parody in some places :✅ Good luck with the improvements. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 13:19, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Pass/Fail:
 * Need neutral references and neutral RS facts. The ref used may be publicity (is non-neutral):
 * "The open letter was printed in many large newspapers, including the New York Times, Washington Post, and Chicago Sun Times"
 * "Henderson states on his website that more than 100,000 copies of the book have been sold."
 * Nothing about the structure of the book like how many chapters, summary of each.
 * Also, how is the book used by the practitioners (if I may say so) of Pastafarianism.
 * One of the "I'd really rather you didn'ts" is repeated. Is the whole list needed? If yes, repetitions should be avoided.
 * A section about direct comparison with the Bible (other religious texts, it parodies) is needed, like "Moses giving the Ten Commandments == "I'd really rather you didn'ts" ) Has any official representative of the Church reacted to it?
 * the page numbers associated with particular sentences can be given for Van Horn, Gavin; Lucas Johnston (2007)
 * In single references, "p." (eg. p. 58) should be used, not pp. 58.
 * LEAD should have something about organization of the book: chapters etc. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 13:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
